TODAY IS CLEAN UP DAY--- ALL HANDS ON DECK...
I THINK THEY (PAULA AND MEGAN) GOT A RUNNING START YESTERDAY BY BURNING ODD THINGS TAT COULD NOT BE NEATLY FOLDED AND RECYCLED--
BIG PROJECT OF THE DAY IS TO MOVE THOSE ... WELL THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE CAGES--- BUT STORAGE UNITS FROM THE BACK OF THE ARENA TO THE AREA BY THE OIL TANK...
THEY LOOK LIKE WE CAGE DOGS IN THEM-- WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE TO CAGE THINGS WE DO NOT WANT THE DOGS TO GET AT--- THEY ARE FROM BROOKSBY VILLAGE APTS-- "STORAGE UNITS" OR IN OUR LANGUAGE "OVERFLOW UNITS"-- WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE HUGE STAINLESS STEEL HOSPITAL "CAGES"-- ONE IS EVEN FOR MONKEYS BECAUSE IT HAS A MOVEABLE SIDE TO CAPTURE AND HOLD AN ANIMAL...
WE USE THOSE FOR TOWELS , FLUFFIES... AND THOSE TREATS THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT DONATE THEM.
SO GETTING THAT CLUTTER OFF CAMERA WOULD PLEASE JANINE... WHO GETS FUSSY ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING EVERY SAINT SWITHENS DAY. I NEVER SAID SHE WAS WRONG... JUST RANDOM..
WE HAVE TO BE NICE TO HER THO-- SHE WILL BE THE ONE TO PUT MY SOMEWHAT TERSE ACCREDITATION CONCEPTS INTO POLITE, EDUCATED, BUSINESS LANGUAGE-- LIKE THE 7.2 DOGS-- OR THE BIG RED SIGN THAT SAYS FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHICH I HAD TO PUT NEXT TO THE BIG RED CYLINDER WHICH HANGS ON THE WALL FOR THE PURPOSE OF PUTTING OUT FIRES...
IT IS THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS WHICH MADE ME PUT EXIT SIGNS ON THE T TENT WHICH BASICALLY HAS NO WALLS.
OH, I KNOW THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEH DOG TRAINER WHO TRIES TO DO IT ALL RIGHT, AND ONE WHO HANGS A SHINGLE AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THOSE WHO KNOW EVEN LESS... BUT EXIT SIGNS SEEMS TO BE AN ODD WAY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO.
**************
--- DO YOU SUPPOSE WE COULD GET THAT BENNINGTON VEHICLE BACK TO TH EOWNER IN HAMILON... I KNOW THEY DON'T USE IT ( OR SHE WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR IT LONG AGO...) IT TAKES A CLEAN TRAILER AND AT LEAST 2 HEFTYPEOPLE ALONG WITH A PROPERLY REG CAR AND TRAILER-- ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAVE JUST NOT COME TOGETHER IN THE PAST YEAR...
*********
WELL......... MY LAST GO ROUND WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WAS WHEN THEY SENT ROUND A VERY SIMPLE SOUL AS "ANIMAL INSPECTOR" I HAVE ALWAYS WELCOMED THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE I AM PROUD OF THE CARE OUR ANIMALS HAVE ALWAYS HAD--- ALL BE IT SOMETIMES STRANGE---
BUT THIS WOMAN WAS HERE FOR 2 HOURS AND HAD NOT YET EVEN LOOKED AT ANY ANIMAL-- SHE WAS ALL HUNG UP INTHE FACT THAT I DID NOT HAVE NUMBERS FOR ALL MY DOGS-- I SAID "NO... THEY HAVE NAMES" BUT SHE DID NOT LIKE THAT ANSWER AND TOLD ME I MUST.. ( THERE IS THAT WORD AGAIN)
THAT IS WHY-- SOMEWHERE ON THE PROPERTY IS A PIECE OF WOOD WITH A BUNCH OF HOOKS ON IT WITH NUMBERED BRASS "TAGS" AND A BUNCH OF RABIES TAGS ON THE SAME HOOKS. SOMEWHERE THERE IS ALSO A PLASTIC BAG WITH LOVELY UN NUMBERED BRASS TAGS.
PERCEPTION IS MORE THAN HALF THE CASE.
IT IS LIKE THE KEYS THAT HANG ON THE 24" SQUARE BOARD IN THE CELLAR STAIRS . THOSE HAVE PAPER TAGS WITH NUMBERS- VERY OFFICIAL LOOKING----AND I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT ANY OF THEM ARE... THERE ARE ALOT OF KEYS AND ONE LOCKED PADLOCK-- WITH NO KEY---
I LOOK ON IT AS A WORK OF ART.
***************
I HOPE I CAN JUST RIDE AROUND IN TH E HEATED TRACTOR AND CARRY THINGS HITHER AND YON AND LEAVE ALL THE HEFT AND LUG TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION
HAVEN'T THEY BEEN TELLING ME TO DELEGATE?????
